Solid modeling improvements including solid disassembly for exploding and laying out a solids assembly.

Expanded dynamic motion toolpaths bring new options to their ground-breaking technology.

In addition, new icons provide a consistent color palette that is modern, clean, and colorblind friendly. The graphics display has been upgraded to provide cleaner aesthetics, and clearer, more responsive selection while delivering a much improved overall look and feel.

Panels can now be automatically hidden, docked to either side of the window, or undocked and placed outside of Mastercam. Mastercam X8 delivers improved usability and the ability to customize the way you work. Along with the new interface, there are new features such as Live Preview, and Hands-on Drag Controls. Direct Editing updates have made the process of model preparation easier. Every existing Solids function has been updated to reflect this new workflow. The Solids interface and workflow has been completely redone for Mastercam X8 and makes constructing and editing solids easier and more intuitive than it’s ever been.

To create the most efficient cutting motion possible, Dynamic toolpaths calculate not only the area where metal will be removed they also take into account the changing condition of the material throughout various stages of machining. Dynamic Motion follows a proprietary and sophisticated set of rules that take into consideration a broad data set. Mastercam’s Dynamic Motion technology is a new and exciting approach to creating toolpaths. Stop by Booth W3-115 at the China International Exhibition Center in Beijing, China, April 20-25 for a look at Mastercam X8, the latest Mastercam release, which features Dynamic Motion technology, as well as a preview of the upcoming Mastercam X9 release. CIMT attendees will get to experience the most powerful Mastercam machining software yet. TOLLAND, CT, – CNC Software, Inc., will be exhibiting at the CIMT 2015 show in Beijing, China.
